They apparently met through a Craigslist ad for violent sex and the young man says he stabbed Weber in his Brooklyn apartment Friday night during a violent, drug-fueled assault. The Daily News says police got on the trail by looking through Webers home computer and cellphone records. Investigators believe George was killed Friday night, the victim of knife wounds all over his body. He had most recently been doing weekend anchor work for ABC News Radio, and before that had spent most of a decade at WABC, New York (770). WABC PD Laurie Cantillo says there may be a memorial service in the city. The family is planning services back in his native Pennsylvania, where he started in radio at age 16. The family says we are devastated by the loss of George  Jordy, to us. He was truly a caring person who loved and was loved by all he met.

>>The troubled teenager accused of stabbing WABC newsman George Weber during drug-fueled rough sex is a 16-year-old Satan-loving sadomasochist with a knife fetish.
John Katehis, who is just 16 and lives in East Elmhurst, Queens, posted pictures of himself on MySpace.com with various blades - including one he held against his neck. He also issued a chilling warning.
“If you disrespect me then I will f-——g break your neck,” he wrote.

The nationally syndicated Curtis Sliwa commented about Weber the other night; I believe Weber was a regular
newscaster during Sliwa’s former show with Ron
Kuby

>>NEW YORK - Police have arrested a teenager in the brutal slaying of veteran radio news reporter George Weber.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne says the 16-year-old from Queens was taken into custody late Tuesday night in Middletown, N.Y. He was arrested Wednesday and will be charged as an adult.

>>Weber worked at WAEB-AM in Allentown from 1983 to 1985.

>>Browne says the suspect “made statements implicating himself in the homicide.” The victim apparently allowed the teen into his Brooklyn home after they met through Craigslist.
Weber’s body was found Sunday. His ankles were bound, and he was stabbed about 50 times.

>>In addition to his work in Allentown, Weber worked at WABC in New York for 12 years as the on-air reporter for popular shows such as “Curtis and Kuby.” He also had worked at stations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Pennsylvania

Such a weird story. I am not familiar with this man but read numerous good comments and positive remarks about him in the local New York articles. I guess you never know who has a dark side. When he found out the kid was 16, he should have bolted out of there — unless he knew and didn’t care, I guess.

Was it known that he had this “side” to him or is this a shock to local NYC’ers?

Apparently there’s a YouTube vid also where the murderer crank calls a poss. pedophile.

from article:

>>Weber and Katehis agreed to meet Friday night for a sexual encounter after the newsman had promised him $60.
Weber had orginally placed an ad on Craigslist looking for someone to choke him and engage in oral sex.
Police sources told The Post that Weber’s legs were duct-taped and that he pulled out a knife to free himself - not attack Katehis.

>>Katehis told cops that he and Weber drank Vodka and did cocaine before the situation turned violent.
He told police that Weber pulled a knife on him, he took it and stabbed the former radio newscaster.
Meanwhile, new details of the chilling crime were revealed.
According to investigators, the knife sliced through Weber’s neck, back and torso so many times that it was difficult to get an accurate count by the time the body was discovered two days ago.

Homosexuality is perfectly normal. There’s nothing wrong with it. They are obviously not perverts. They should be able to freely join the military, get married, and adopt children. You know, it’s to bad that this prowling pedophile didn’t have children in his home at the time of his violent, sexual murder. What has mankind come to...

I don’t know if you had the same thought as I but this kid does not look 16 in these pictures (he does look like a psychotic). It makes me wonder what George Weber was led to believe, this kid could easily pass for 21-22.
